Kristine from United Cerebral Palsy e-mailed me with a news of a get-out-the-vote effort called DontBlockMyVote.org<\/a>. The site promotes voter registration and it also urges people to write their congressional representatives todemand better access at the polls and increased funding for accessible voting technology. It’s good to see a big organization like UCP working to get people with disabilities involved in the political process. We still do a crappy job of mobilizing ourselves compared to other GOTV campaigns. I remember hearing that at one of the previous Democratic conventions, either 1996 or 2000, they had a room set up for delegates with disabilities where they could discuss disability issues with campaign staff. Nobody showed up, which probably didn’t motivate the staffers to do much more outreach. I think it’s important to remember that if we want candidates to address our issues, we have to show that we actually vote in significant numbers. Otherwise, all we’re doing is complaining.
